In 1984, Eric Arthur Blair writes: If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever. I first thought it was melodramatic shit. As time has passed, I realise more & more, how true it is. Sorry George #nineteeneightyfour #orwell #dontlicktheboot

An appropriate #mad cover. #whatmeworry #madmagazine #thebigcon

Ohh for FFS! Iran's nuclear weapons! Another non-existant bogeyman like the weapons of mass destruction. You need to get fucked @albomp.bsky.social www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

#auspol Truly worrying that PHON gets away with stuff that would cause huge outrage if it was done by the 'normal' parties. Seems she gets the same 'loony pass' that Trump gets in the US. Wonder what'd happen if a Greens senator said there are no good 4x2's? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

😱Truly the first time any capital project caused damge to public infrastructure. And to think it was caused by those horrible renewables😱 Those nice fossil fuel companies never damage ANYTHING! The ABC is truly rubbish news💩 #auspol #renewables www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Pic from the climax of MGS4. A truly great final battle befitting an iconic series. 4 isn't the best of the series but it's pretty solid😉 Coincidentally, I have just now finished Death Stranding (# 1, Director's Cut version). @hideokojima.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp I prefer this.

For fucks sake Jacinta, if you're going to do a corruption properly you DESTROY public services and make your old school tie mates at the Melbourne Club rich... #vicpol #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

What we know about Anus Taylor's policies: Australian Values = White Australia dog whistle Good immigration = White immigration www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

No doubt @albomp.bsky.social wanted to make sure there was no harm done to the bulldozer. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Great to see such a principled stand from the IOC, saving the world from inflammatory helmets! Now if only they took the same zero tolerance stand on teams representing "nations" committing genocide... ...like actual genocide www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Great to see such a large turnout. True depiction of Australian values: Prepared to cop a beating, not prepared to be silent about war crimes. Real Aussies saying stick your bullshit laws up your arse, Minns. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Everything I need to know about the supper bowel? I know there's never been a better time to ignore it... www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

To answer the question posed by the headline: YES. The wars of the roses Charles 1 getting the short haircut Richard the 3rd's childminding services Henry 8 going through wives like minties I'm sure proper #history buffs can add to the list #royals #andrew www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well this #aukus thing just keeps getting better and better doesn't it @albomp.bsky.social ? Pine Gap is bad enough Meanwhile, Trumps man in Corio, #marles, is busy sucking up to war criminals. #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Well, who could have seen that coming, eh? #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

I rely on the little things in life to keep going... #ICE #leopardsatemyface Boy, those Germans have a word for everything! #schadenfreude www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Ever find yourself in a position where you have to debunk anti-renewable propaganda? This is a great video. It goes for an hour and a half, which is a big ask, but even if you can watch a ramdom 10 minute section you will be better informed. And maybe a bit angry?🤯 www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...

Good question. Why can't we all play music and live in harmony, just like Fleetwood Mac?

Large particle accelerators give me a hadron.

In Geelong, 2 punks hit a school bus in a stolen car. No one hurt, COULD have been nasty. Cue 'somebody think of the children!' hysteria In Perth, man throws a 💣 into a crowd. It didn't work, but only due to luck. Cue 'no-one got hurt, no big deal' 🏴or 🏳️ #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Anyone here want to bet against this twat getting a presidential pardon? I'll give you odds... ...hmmm, no takers. You lot are smarter than you look #IlhanOmar www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

NSW Anti-hate laws: Ban the slogan but the condone the hatred that inspired the slogan. #auspol #nswpol Explain please: what does "globalise the intifada" actually mean??? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

#auspol #nswpol Fuck you Minns In our current duopoly, protests are 1 of the only ways we proles can effectively work to gain attention & support for a minority view. Of course the majority don't want to be made uncomfortable, but sometimes it's necessary. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Now, this is pretty funny... ...in an ironic sorta way. All the atrocities, the ethnic cleansing, the land stealing, the innocent deaths could have been stopped in a minute if the US didn't want them to happen. Seriously. It's just bombing as usual. #boardofpeace www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/w...

No translationneeded

I think this is why we're all here, to be honest.

#music Well, I never... ... next they'll be telling us most of his lyrics are meaningless shite SMH! #RHCP www.nme.com/news/music/r...

Doesn't trust governments? Seems a bit disingenuous from a bloke whose whole career has been on the government payroll* (*not counting the obvious mining company kickbacks, of course) #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Yes, the Lib/Nat 🤯 is funny. BUT, it means that WHEN the ALP eventually get the boot, we will be led by a gov't of reactionary cookers. Whatever they decide to call themselves. No way the conservatives go more to the centre from here. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Don't you hate it when immigrants come to our country & don't assimilate with our values & way of life? They've had 50 years to become true blue Aussies & they still cling to the ways of the old country... Shit, sorry! I forgot that only applies to the brown ones... www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Quick! Think of two world leaders that most embody the concept of 'peace'... (⚠️ sarcasm alert 🚨) www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Eric Burdon and WAR. Eric's finest performance (including the Animals back catalogue, friends) Spill the Wine. Highlights: Liebfraumilche (don't get any more 70's than that!) Scandalously small denim shorts Eric's imitation of wine pouring at the end. Magic! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-Xs...

Might as well close the circle with a nice sample of Spill the Wine by SubSub and Melanie Williams singing. Some nice 90's club music www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRgu...

You know the song, but I bet you haven't seen the music video. Pure magic all round from WAR www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH0Q...

Been binging on the band WAR, mainly due to the incredible Lee Oskar. Truly great music video www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bsrq...

Seems the only way to solve the housing 'crisis' is to make residential real estate less attractive to investors. Wow! Not bullshit grants, not easier access to finance #auspol #viclabor www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

FFS! He's been in charge for 1 game and it was the derby. Susan Boyle could get them up for that match. Restores dogged spirit, what a load of shite. 1 game, SMH #manu #premierleague www.theguardian.com/football/202...

This just in from the "Harden Up, Snowflake" party... #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

I'm sure they will knock back this government hand out to remain consistent with their principles. HAHA. Most likely, these champions of small government and individual responsibility will SLAM the gov for not doing enough to help them. #RCintofires #jacintasfault www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Or the popular third choice: Don't Use Bullshit Phone Assistants. That could work...

What @cathywilcox.bsky.social said to Sky News. If only more people put them in their place like that...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlnr... I'm sure it was earlier than 77, but anyway

@cathywilcox.bsky.social You're in this position because you're very good at your job. If it wasn't the truth it wouldn't piss them off so much. I hope you know that you provide a great service by articulating the things that everyday plebs like us would like to say to those in power. 💐 💐 💐 💐

Goddamit! We need people like Bob Weir now, more than ever! Grateful Dead may not be everyone's cuppa, but ya gotta respect that they stuck to their principals, & they DID produce a LOT of very accessible stuff. 📦of 🌧️one of my faves, but there are loads more. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

This is a bit out of character for me, but here is a video that shows just how talented and charismatic Britney Spears was. Credit where credit is due. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pivv...

This says it all.

#comedy gold from the US senate! I wouldn't be suprprised if Dump signs it into law, just so he can piss all over it. Like he has about a million other times... www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

To @cathywilcox.bsky.social with ❤️ It's always the 'free speech' crowd that squeal the loudest. If they were defending a truly racist cartoon (any shit by Mark Knight, for eg), they would be saying 'it's just a joke, harden up snowflake!' Demand an #RCintoCathy
